We Almost Didn’t Make It

We almost didn’t make it. 10 years together, married 5 years TODAY at the San Diego courthouse (then 2 months later with family and friends) And…yup… we almost didn’t make it. So many ups and downs but WOW, so worth the journey!

I am more in love with my husband today than the day I said “I do”

What didn’t work for us:

• Needing to be “right”
• Putting work before each other
• Forgetting what we love about each other
• Blaming
• Talking to others about our blame.
• Expecting the other to “change”
• Wanting to quit when it got hard

What worked:

• Choosing LOVE
• Patience
• Meaning our commitment
• Working on ourselves and taking personal responsibility
• Lots and lots and LOTS of personal development.
• Loving ourselves
• Listening
• Letting the unimportant things go
• Remembering our intentions
• Working THROUGH things
• Creating space to truly be with each other.

 

Men if you want a strong woman be a safe place for her. Strong women need to feel safe and secure. Step into your masculine. You know what that means.

Women if you want a loving man you must love yourself and BE loving to them. Step into your feminine.. you ALSO know what that means… if you don’t , read up: lots of materials on this topic there is not room for two masculine energies in a relationship. That doesn’t work.

I am so in love with my husband Brooks Hollan. Can’t wait to celebrate 50 more.

XO,

Natalie Jill
